An up-to-date Immunisation Certificate (Immunisation History Statement) is required when enrolling children into childcare, preschool and school. 

Immunisation Certificates can be downloaded through the MyGov website or you may contact the Australian Immunisation Register (AIR) on 1800 653 809.

If you notice any missing vaccinations from your child’s history statement, please contact your immunisation provider (such as your local doctor or council) and advise them to update the AIR.

Your immunisation history can be obtained from the Australian Immunisation Register (AIR) via your MyGov account or by contacting AIR on 1800 653 809. Please note the AIR only has records from 1996 onwards.

Vaccinations given through school program may not appear on the AIR and you may need to contact Council or your local doctor for these records. If your high school vaccinations were given by Council at school, please email immunisation@latrobe.vic.gov.au for these records to be uploaded to the AIR.

Please note: Council is only required to hold immunisation records for 25 years. If you were born before 1996 or attended school more than 25 years ago, Council no longer has your immunisation records.

The Victorian Department on Health has record of previous childhood immunisation schedules which may assist you in working out which immunisation you may have had:
